The Egon March Institute was founded in 1986 by Marko Košnik as a creative unit for theory, research and production in the field of new media. Since 1991 he has been engaged in corporate interdisciplinary productions, performances and installations that combine directing, programming of interactive systems, synchronisation and transmission via the Internet. The circle of collaborators in his projects has been largely international (Van Gogh TV, University TV, STEIM). He has held numerous performances, lectures and workshop tutorials around Europe, and has initiated educative media environments (for example the Ministry of Experiment). The Egon March Institute organised the hEXPO - International Festival of Self Organising Cultural Forms in Ljubljana/Koper/Maribor in 2000.

Projects

Marko Košnik's first intermedia projects include Stvar - Das Ding - The Thing, premiering at Hfbk Hamburg in 1991, Figure in Space, Man in the Case, a performance/installation presented in the gallery environment of Škuc Gallery and Opna, phase II, developed for the opening of the first Ostranenie Festival in Dessau in 1993.

The projects Cukrarna (Sugar Factory), a dance performance for synchronous video projection that premiered at Medienbiennale Leipzig in 1994 and A B Sence (1996) were developed together with Mateja Bučar, cf DUM Association of Artists. Marko Košnik presented an interactive form of environment also at the New Moves 97 festival in Glasgow.

The PA-RA trilogy consisted of: (i) Parahouse, a cross-field study between ergonomics of the public place (the house) and different purposes its rooms are used for in the social context, its first phase being performed during the Ostranenie Festival in Dessau in 1997; (ii) Paparapapa, a continuous one-week performance by three artists located in Ljubljana, Frankfurt and Paris, synchronised via Cu-See-Me conferencing system and real video/audio transmissions over the Internet; and (iii) PA-RA, a multimedia theatre performance premiered at Cankarjev dom, Ljubljana in 1998.

In 2000 the Desktop cinema was premiered at the Kino Reitschule, Bern and presented at the Slovenian Cinematheque, Ljubljana and Pekarna Magdalena Network, Maribor. In 2001 a chamber opera for theoretical narration, music, live video and computer graphics under the title TheoThea was produced at SKC Belgrade within the international symposium Theatre in Theory.

During 2002-2003 Marko Košnik was mostly concerned with research work at Codelab at Podewill, and during a residency in Mexico (Anthropomedia Project). In 2002 he toured as a performer, playing his live video instrument in the Postworkshop Live Video and Music spectacle at STEIM, Amsterdam.

In 2006 the artist lived in his multimedia installation Batiskaf Trst at Mala Gallery, Museum of Modern Art. operabil kobe, a dance solo, performed by Sumi Masayuki, was developed at the residency at Tesla-Berlin and presented in Osaka, Kobe, Maribor KIBLA Multimedia Centre. In 2007 Egon March Institute presented his new project operabil POW, a performance lecture with topographic imagery in Museumsquartier, Vienna.

In 2008 a new production of Egon March Institute, the operabil, a step-by-step project that engages collaborators to present sets of ideas through the artistic medium of the opera. The project operabil memotopia was performed by Barbara Thun (voice) and Marko Košnik (live-manipulation of topographic imagery) was performed in Klanggalerie Tube, Munich, at the Exposition of New Music in Hudebni klub Fleda in Brno, Czech Repubic and at KIBLA Multimedia Centre, Maribor. The performance operabil conspirare was shown during the opening ceremony at the Auditorium of the eminent Berlin festival Transmediale 08.

Marko Košnik has produced significant texts for various media and has conducted numerous workshops and lectures related to intermedia practices.
